The Tigo TS4-A-2F is a reliable, cost effective rapid shutdown solution that meets the latest module level shutdown requirements, including NEC 2017/2020. The TS4-A-2F is both IEC and UL certified for global acceptance. It is UL PVRSS certified for connectivity with the largest network of inverters, many of which have a built in RSS transmitter. By connecting to two modules, the TS4-A-2F reduces labor time and enables 16% fewer connections on a 14 panel string compared to single channel MLPE.

Dedicated rapid shutdown device for 2 solar modules

The TS4-A-F enables cost effective rapid shutdown functionality in a 1 module to 1 TS4 configuration. The TS4-A-F is both IEC and UL certified for global acceptance. The TS4-A-F is UL PV Rapid Shutdown System (PVRSS) certified with hundreds of inverters to comply with NEC 2014, 2017, and 2020 rapid shutdown requirements. Many of the inverters have integrated the RSS transmitter, which communicates with the TS4-A-F over PLC, enabling plug and play installations.

Dedicated rapid shutdown device for 1 solar module up to 700W

Optimization is a Flex MLPE function available as an integrated modular junction box base (TS4-O) or as an add-on unit (TS4-A-O). Design using unequal string lengths, mixed orientations, or areas of mismatch. Install in shaded areas with a reduced setback ratio. In addition to optimization, the TS4-A-O enables module level monitoring, and rapid shutdown in compliance with NEC 2014, 2017, 2020.

Increase energy production with shaded & mismatched modules up to 700W

Safety is a Flex-MLPE function that enables rapid shutdown and module-level monitoring. It is UL PV Rapid Shutdown System (PVRSS) certified with leading inverters to meet NEC 2014, 2017, and 2020 rapid shutdown requirements.

Enables monitoring and rapid shutdown for modules up to 700W

Module-level rapid shutdown is required for all new rooftop solar installations across the United States. This requirement was put in place for the safety of first responders and is part of the US National Electrical Code. Other countries have adopted similar requirements to the US.

This webinar will examine rapid shutdown code requirements in countries around the world and how installers can meet them. You may be surprised by some of the countries that made the list.

We look forward to seeing you there.
